Editing S2: White Plume Mountain

'''''White Plume Mountain''''' is an adventure module written for ''[[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]''. Written by Lawrence Schick, it was released by [[TSR]] in 1979. It is set in the ''[[Greyhawk]]'' campaign setting. The hook of the story is that [[Whelm|three]] [[Wave|legendary]] [[Blackrazor|weapons]] were stolen by a madder-than-usual [[wizard]] named Keraptis. We know this because the wizard left a note at each crime scene shitposting about his escapades in poetic verse. The audacity! The wizard boasts that he has taken the artifacts to reside with him in White Plume Mountain, an active goddamn volcano that he spelunked into 1,300 years ago with a cadre of [[gnomes]], and now it is up to you to go in after him and retrieve these artifact weapons for their owners.

''White Plume Mountain'' is generally very favorably remembered by [[neckbeards]], usually ranking somewhere in the Top 10 list of the best ''D&D'' dungeons. While it does not have sheer [[TPK|FUCK YOU]] nature of the [[Tomb of Horrors]], it is chock full of fun and memorable encounters and puzzles.

A sequel, ''Return to White Plume Mountain'', was released in 1999 for ''D&D'''s silver anniversary, which takes place twenty years after the original. Having been presumably slain in the original ''WPM'', Keraptis may have returned as his mocking face has appeared in the eponymous plume of smoke which exudes from the volcano which was once his lair. Does this herald the mad wizard's return, or is something even more nefarious afoot?
